Bye bye turbo craft bots!

I've actually seen the far away harvesting before in Horizon. There were some people late night harvesting trees, as was I, but they were able to harvest from like 30 yalms away. It really seemed suspicious, but I chalked it up to server response time or something.

the far away harvest is not a hack. try it yourself because it's easy to do. run to the node, open your menu, click mine/harvest/fish, and start running away. when the server registers you hit the button it stops you and turns you around. it's a good judge of how laggy the server is on your end to get a long distance from the node.

i do it everytime i harvest for a few different reasons. 1. if someone else is gathering in your area you don't cover the node so they can easily see it(i use to hate when you had 1 node and 5 people trying to farm off it because then it was difficult to target). 2. it's just funny to see how far i can get or what strange position i can be standing in once it registers me.

you can use the fountain in front of gogo in ud for one example. try that fountain for fishing and run away. you can get about halfway from the fountain to gogo and be fishing in the middle of the street facing away from the fountain.

like i said you don't have to take my word on it, but just try it and see for yourself. it's not a hack by any extreme just because you are a long way from the node. that person may be hacking, but that is not one of the ways to determine if they are or not because that is easily done by anyone.

I don't doubt you at all. Like I said, I just assumed it was due to some sort of time delay or something.

nah it wasn't about doubt. i was just trying to explain how it's done. it is legit to do. i just hate the they are doing something so they must be cheating that was coming from above you that got my attention. i didn't want someone to get the wrong impression when it is more easier to explain it and let someone try it for themselves and they will see. it will show your screen as moving normal btw, but on another players screen it looks like you are doing some kind of strange glitch slide.

it's just like in ud you had a few places you would stand and it looked like you were flying(stairs off the balcony by adventurers guild).

1 run to node
2 hit harvest
3 run away as fast as you can

i use a controller so i start running away as soon as the harvest icon pops up and click the button while retreating because the analog buttons respond great. you will get a big distance between you and the node.
